Collective Interface That Permits Plural Body Measurements

While you walk this app (we) synthesise the data from your + phone accelerometer, measure the number of steps you make, and + feed it back to the construction of an amazing drawing.

+ +

You are not alone into this, contrary to usual 'self + tracking app' this one allows you to collectively contribute + your steps to the project. The data you give out will not be + fed by to you in bars and charts, but will generate a + beautiful drawing.

+ + +
+

Opening at + Constant VZW + on June, 8th, 2017. +
Quantify Wholeheartedly was made possible by a + prototype grant from DICRéAM.

+ +

In a world where digital practices are omnipresent, + everything is measurable, including the number of steps we + make, the amount of water we drink daily or even one's level + of happiness. Self-quantification inhabits everyday + practices. It becomes a game in which our body is envisioned + as a set of numbers and charts that suppose to coach us + towards a "better life".

+ +

Self-quantification is at the origin of forms of body + representations that blur the boundaries between what is + considered to be direct social control (measuring and + quantification) and other forms of spectacle where bodies + are constrained in aesthetic modelled forms and visualised as + charts.

+ +

This project was launched within the Brussels' women and + free software + group Samedies + to explore the differences between community health support + groups and commercial social networks organised by the + corporations that develop self tracking + applications. Participants in Samedies developed their own + interfaces and tools and came up with a series of small + games that propose a different approach, both feminist and + collective.

+ +

The 'butterfly' image is + in the public domain. +
